We spent about a week and a half in Albuquerque visiting with Harold's brother, Arlo, and his wife, Linda. I think other than eating and catching up on a few TV shows, the guys spent most of their time in the garage. Linda and I added a few shopping trips in place of the garage stuff.
Harold and Arlo put in a new shelf in the cargo bay to store our rockguard when we're parked. Having that stuff ride in the back seat of the car was an annoyance, mainly for me. So I was glad for them to fix that.
They also further refined the underbed storage area for the dinette folding chairs. They added a false floor, if you will, for the chairs to make sure they didn't interfere with the slideout rollers. Wouldn't want to destroy a chair or damage the slideout if something happened to shift during travel.
Back at Arlo's garage, they repaired his secondhand boring facing head, cleaned the trunions on the table saw, and replaced lights in the garage, going from flourescent to LEDs.
Then we took advantage of Arlo's 3D printer. I got a new toothbrush vanity organizer and Harold got a couple of koozie holders to velcro to the outside cooler.
Now Linda is an amazing cook. Just mention you like something, and Linda will go out of her way to make it for you. That's how we ended up eating some amazing Reuben sandwiches and homemade beignets. However, we didn't want to completely wear out our welcome.
We made it to Frank's Famous Chicken and Waffles, a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives restaurant. Then on our last day, they decided that I needed to have a Travis on a Silver Platter from Grandma's K & I Diner. The dish was featured on Man vs Food. Whew! It took the four of us to eat it.
Time to move on, before we completely wear out our welcome. ; )
